One of the best Sweet Valley Twins books...

I like all of the Sweet Valley Twins books. I can't put any of them down, especially The Beast Must Die. I got this as a gift and read it right away. I read it in a very short period of time, but I don't remember the amount of time because I read last year. This book was so good that I remember every detail. I'm not going to tell you about the book, though, becasue you should read it and be surprised. The one thing that I WILL tell you is that this book is GREAT!If the reader of this have already read this book, I highly recommend Sweet Valley Twins #77, #78, and #100. ~

Inspiring, sensitive and fun

Book title: The Book of Twins : A Celebration in Words and PicturesRating: 5/5Binding: Hardcover

I thoroughly enjoyed reading and re-reading this book. The bond and special relationship between twins is felt as you read the individual stories. These stories were extremely well-written and they generated both tears and laughter as I read each of them. The book provides an informative and entertaining insight into the world of twins. The photography was equally superb. This is a beautiful "table top" book. All ages will enjoy it.

The magic and the brain of Carl Sagan in a brilliant essay.

Book title: Broca's Brain: Reflections on the Romance of ScienceRating: 5/5Binding: Paperback

This is one of the best examples of Carl Sagan's unique capablity to communicate and to make us know of his ideas and reflections on the actual moment of science. Broca's brain is a very personal book and transmits some of Sagan's deepest ideas about the development of the science and consequently of the World himself.He concludes saying that new and amazing discoveries are coming every day and soon, the greatest mysteries of the Universe will be revealed. As allways, this book is written in a simple language, making it a most for the reader that seeks some morel knowledge and culture.Carl Sagan will never die.

The most enthralling science fiction epic of all time!

Book title: The War in HeavenRating: 5/5Binding: Paperback

Within the past year I managed to acquire and read Neverness and the Requiem for Homo Sapiens. I must say in all the years I've read science fiction, no book or series of books has affected me as deeply as The Broken God and War in Heaven. The sequences between Danlo and Hanuman Li Tosh are both heartbreaking and mesmerizing. Highly recommended for anyone who likes their science fiction with a dose of philosophy and beautiful imagery.

covers complex analytic functions

There are two principal reasons to recommend this book. First, it is one of the rare books in approximation theory that covers complex analytic functions. Second, the selection and presentation of the material is unusually clear and full of useful examples. The author balances the level of generality against the usefulness of the result. In other words, he avoids the trap of stating the result in such a high level of generality that the usefulness of the result is completely obscured. Another good book in this area at a slightly higher level of difficulty is "Theory of Approximation" by Achieser. This book is suitable for self study by a graduate student in the first year or a very advanced undergraduate.

This book had me in tears I was laughing so hard.

Book title: No Cure for CancerRating: 5/5Binding: Paperback

This is without a doubt one of the funniest books I have ever read. It is Denis Leary's stand-up routine put into book form. I used to commute from New Jersey into Manhattan and you should have seen the stares I was getting from fellow commuters because I was laughing out loud while I was reading it. Leary's cynical view on drugs, drinking, rock and roll bands and life in general is a roller coaster ride of laughs. Buy this book and you will laugh loud and often.

You feel the Coraje Chicanos experienced growing up in TX.

Book title: The Making of a Chicano Militant: Lessons from Cristal (Wisconsin Studies Autobiography)Rating: 5/5Binding: Hardcover

It's a book that tells generations born after el Movimiento that it took brave Chicanas(os) to make changes in politics, and education systems. This was done by Americans with coraje (anger) and who took this anger and put it into positive aciton. Having been part of the Movimiento Chicano this book brought back many memories. If you read "Rain of Gold" you'll like this book--it's the other story about those of us who the river crossed us, we did not cross the river. This book should be a must for every Chicano(a) in political science or Chicano studies.

An understandable book on slaves

Book title: To Be a SlaveRating: 5/5Binding: Paperback

I first read this book when I was in seventh grade. I had been in history classes for five years and untill I began to read this book, I did not know what realy happened. I am now 21 years old and have a even better understanding of the subject, yet I still continue to read this book time and time again. It not only contains a wealth of knowldge, but is brought to you in a way that is understadable. When I first read this I was 13 years old and had a learning disibility. Not only that but I also had Atention Deficit Disorder. I did not read much or want to read much. I first found this book because I had to do a report. It hooked me right away. It is something in the way it is writen and what it is about that even at the tender age of 13 I colud understand and even think about. I recomend that parents let their children experience this book. But only after you have read it your self.

Very Helpful!

This book is great! Some derivations and occasional proofs are included in the text, but it has clearly been written with the applied researcher in mind. In the author's words he has provided "careful intuitive explanations of the concepts and [has] included many insights typically available only in journal articles or in the minds of practitioners" with his primary objective being "clarity of exposition." I have found it to be very easy to read with numerous helpful examples (the data sets and SAS command files for which are available via an ftp site). This brand new version includes new chapters on cluster analysis, multidimensional scaling, correspondence analysis, and biplots.

Affirmation of Life

The life of a starving artist is often romanticized and not accurately portrayed. This book allows the reader to discover every element of that world. Somewhat autobiographical, the reality of this book is sometimes harsh; but at the core, the reader is presented the notion that beauty can be found amidst a mound of anxiety. This notion is a truth that extends beyond the boundaries of this book. For many writers, communicating essential truths is an unachievable task, but Hamsun does so purely and completely, as a man who experienced that truth in his own life and created a magnificent looking glass for the literary world to gaze into and see itself.
